In cooperation with MUBI GO

Feature film - GB, NGA 2025 - 94' - OmU

Director: Akinola Davies Jr.

For the two young brothers Akin and Remi, who live in the country, their father is an almost mythical figure. Also because they see him so rarely. But one day in 1993, he takes the two of them on a motorcycle to Lagos, where he earns money for his family. It was an unforgettable day for the two boys - and one that also had historical significance for the whole country. In his fantastic debut, Akinola Davies combines a child's perspective with big politics and a declaration of love for the Nigerian megacity.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 9-16, 2025 and always online.
